Pristine Family Home in White Rock Elementary Area

If you think it’s too early to talk about moving before next school year, might I remind you that the school year starts on Aug. 15 in Richardson ISD, which, according to my calculations, is about a month away? We’ve been on the lookout for great, move-in ready homes for families relocating to Dallas before school starts in the fall, and this listing from David Griffin and Co. Realtor Robert Kucharski really stood out. While it’s technically under contract, nothing’s certain until the ink dries at closing.

Plus, who doesn’t want to find out what you can get inside the coveted White Rock Elementary attendance area, for less than $500K, natch?

As Kucharski points out, this White Rock Villas listing just off of Goforth near Flag Pole Hill is “pristine.” It’s well maintained and offers move-in ready interiors and plenty of charm. Plus, there’s room for the whole family!

Kucharski says the 1999-built brick traditional has plenty of natural light and quite a few high-end upgrades. Lovers of natural stone accents will adore the fireplace and the dining room bay window.

“The master suite is just as impressive with its newly updated bath with jetted tub, separate shower, walk-in closet, and dual sink vanity,” Kucharski said. There are three additional bedrooms, two full and one-half bathrooms, and a game room. In all the home sports 2,481 square feet — the perfect size for two-kid households, if you ask me.

We have to say, we’d feel right at home at 8918 White Pine Lane Unit B, and we know that the family-friendly locale with parks and nearby shopping, as well as excellent Richardson ISD public school options, will attract a buyer who appreciates it all.
